Chapter 711 Here Comes Veronica (74)
Looking at Justin, Veronica thought for a moment and said generously, "How about this? You don't have to treat me to a meal. I'll treat you!" Justin had helped her a lot in the past eighteen months, so it was reasonable for Veronica to treat him to a meal.
Twenty minutes later, Veronica and Justin sat in a restaurant.
Veronica handed the menu to Justin. "You can order whatever you like."
Justin ordered two dishes. Veronica added another two dishes. Then she then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Before the dishes came, Veronica asked the waiter to send a bunch of freshly squeezed orange juice.
"I don't drink. Do you want a drink?" Veronica suddenly thought of that and asked Justin.
Justin shook his head. "Orange juice is fine."
Veronica took the initiative to fill Justin's cup. Then she filled hers.
Veronica raised the cup in her hand and gestured in Justin's direction. Justin also raised his cup.
Justin looked at her in confusion. Veronica smiled and said, "Justin, thank you for your help over the past 18 months. By the way, congratulations on your engagement."
When his gaze met Veronica's, Justin's expression changed slightly.
However, the corners of his mouth still curved up. "Thank you, Veronica. I also hope your relationship with Mr. Cordova will go well."
Veronica's expression also changed.
They drank the orange juice with different thoughts.
Then they talked about the scene when they first met.
While the two were chatting, the waiter served the dishes. They chatted as they ate.
When they talked about the past, Veronica and Justin smiled.
"Back then, when I first saw you, you were long-winded!" Justin recalled with a smile.
Veronica widened her eyes. "What? I was long-winded?"
"Yes." Justin said seriously, "At that time, when you asked me to do something, you would repeat it twice or even three times. I heard it so many times that my ears almost hurt. Isn't that being long-winded?"
Veronica sneered, "At that time, you were like a fool. Moreover, you looked slow. That's why I said things twice. I was afraid that you would forget. It seems that I've done something bad for good purposes. I didn't expect you to think of me as long-winded."
Justin's face sank.
In fact, when he first met Veronica at that time, he was attracted to her. His eyes were on her. Every time Veronica talked to him, Justin would be too infatuated with her. That was why his reaction appeared slow. In Veronica's eyes, Justin was like a fool.
"I wasn't as stupid as you said at that time. Right?" Justin murmured.
Veronica said with a serious face, "Of course you were. You couldn't understand the stuff even after I said it twice. And I had to say it a third time. Aren't you stupid?" Justin didn't reply.
He couldn't bear to think about the embarrassing past.
"Alright. Veronica, don't you remember anything good about me?" For example, when Justin played basketball, he was particularly handsome. And he sang really well.
"But as I remembered, you have never appeared excellent. Moreover, the first impression is too strong. It really can't be changed," Veronica said.
Justin now realized that Veronica was joking with him. He couldn't help but laugh.
Justin sighed, "If time can repeat itself again, I will behave better when we meet for the first time."
Veronica smiled. Then the two continued eating.
Halfway through their meal, when they were chatting and laughing, a person suddenly walked into the restaurant and angrily rushed to them. When Justin saw who the person was, his expression changed and he immediately stood up.
"Why are you here?"
The person was Zoey. She angrily watched Veronica and Justin sitting together and laughing in harmony.
"Why am I here? If I don't come here, will there be news of you two coming out of the hotel together tomorrow?" Zoey pointed at Veronica angrily. Veronica frowned and her face darkened.
"Ms. Comte, I'm afraid you misunderstood something. Justin and I are not what you think."
When Zoey saw Veronica's face clearly, she trembled even more.
She didn't expect the person eating with Justin to be Veronica.
"Veronica, it's you again. Why can I see you wherever I go? Are you trying to take Justin away from me because you know he is my fiancé?" Veronica wondered why Zoey was so hostile to her.
"Ms. Comte, Justin and I went to the same university. We don't have the kind of relationship you imagine. I will not destroy the relationship between you either. Also..." Veronica said seriously, "I already have a boyfriend."
Zoey looked at Veronica suspiciously. "You said that you already have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, Justin also knows this. He has seen my boyfriend before."
Justin echoed, "Yes, I've seen her boyfriend. You misunderstood."
Hearing that Veronica already had a boyfriend, Zoey cooled down a bit.
"Even if she already has a boyfriend, it's easy for people to gossip when you two eat out together. Justin, go with me. Otherwise, I will tell your parents about this." Zoey raised her chin and commanded Justin. Zoey's words only made Justin feel more disgusted with her in his heart.
However, Justin did not want to implicate Veronica and let her be blamed by Zoey.
"OK. I will go with you." Justin turned to look at Veronica. "Veronica, bye. See you in the future."
Zoey pulled Justin and left without looking back.
Zoey walked out of the restaurant with Justin. She looked back at Veronica when she reached the door. Somehow Veronica felt it was familiar. She felt that she had seen Zoey's gaze before.
Jana... Veronica thought of this name once again.
Who exactly was Jana? Why did Veronica remember this name? And what did this name have to do with her?
After Justin left, Veronica lost her appetite. She ate two more mouthfuls and felt bored. Therefore, Veronica got up and paid the bill.
Veronica had just left the restaurant when she suddenly met a person. He was in a hurry and shoved Veronica's shoulder. Veronica covered her shoulder in pain. But he did not even apologize and directly walked forward.
Veronica frowned as she looked at the back of the man.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
If she was not mistaken, the person ... was the representative of a foreign multinational enterprise, Rodger Riley.
